Safety information
Important: Please read through these operating instruc-
tions very carefully. It is essential that you take note of all
of the safety information and operating instructions before
switching on the appliance. Please keep these operating
instructions in a safe place for future reference.
Important: Please read the operating instructions. You
should then also follow all instructions for start-up and
ongoing use.
Information on cleaning: Please do not attempt to clean
the appliance using household chemicals because they could
damage its surface. Simply use a dry cloth. Disconnect the
appliance from the mains before cleaning.
Caution - moisture and sunlight: Never operate the appli-
ance in damp areas, i.e. near bathtubs, showers, washbasins
or drains or in damp cellars or by swimming pools. Basically
never operate the appliance where there is moisture. Never
expose the device to high humidity and do not place it in
direct sunlight.
Information on location: Do not use the appliance unsecured
in vehicles, in unstable places, on wobbly tripods or furniture
or supports that are too small. The speakers could fall and
cause damage to people, including yourself. The appliance
must not be placed near sources of heat. This includes
radiators and heaters, ovens and other appliances that emit
heat(e.g. amplifiers). No sources of heat may be placed on the
appliance e.g. fan heaters or candles.
For ventilation: Any slits and openings in the casing have
been provided for ventilation. Their purpose is to guaran-
tee reliable operation and to prevent the appliance from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered,
including by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, carpet or
any other soft surface. Do not place newspapers or tablecloths,
etc. on the appliance. The cooling plate of the amplifier
electronics must not be covered or exposed to direct sunlight
in any event. Additional active cooling of the appliance is
generally not permitted.
Information about electricity supply: The appliance must
only be supplied from a power source with the correct voltage,
as specified on the identification label. If you are unsure
about the electricity supply in your home, please contact
us or your electricity supplier for more information. The
appliance does not need to be earthed. Please only use the
appropriate mains plug for connecting to the mains socket.
This mains cable must not be modified under any circum-
stances. Regulations on polarity and earth connection must
be adhered to.
Information on wiring: Please place the supply cable flat
and flush to the wall and floor. Cables that are laid loosely
present a trip hazard. This could also result in interference
and cause the sound to be disrupted. The electricity supply
cable should be laid so that it is not likely to be stepped on or
squashed from the sides or above by heavy objects. Damaged
cables must be replaced. Pay particular attention to the cable/
plug connection, the mains socket and the cable output from
the subwoofer. If a fault is discovered, the appliance and the
cabling must be disconnected from the mains immediately
and the defective cable must be replaced.
During periods without use: Remove the appliance's power
supply cable from the socket during longer periods of
absence or non-use.
During thunderstorms: In order to avoid damage caused by
lightning strikes, the appliance should be switched off and
also detached from the mains socket as soon as a thunder-
storm is expected.
Risk of overload: You should not overload wall sockets, exten-
sion cables or integrated appliance sockets, because this
could potentially lead to short circuits and even fires. Avoid
turning up the volume control very high even when using a
compatible amplifier.
Foreign bodies and liquids: Foreign bodies and liquids
must not get into the appliance via its openings under any
circumstances, because they could come into contact with
parts carrying high voltage, which could then cause short
circuits and fires. Therefore do not spill any liquids of any kind
on the appliance.
Troubleshooting: Do not attempt to repair the appliance
yourself. Contact our service department first for authori-
sation if you think that you can repair the fault yourself.
Otherwise the appliance must be sent in for testing.
Information on spare parts: Lautsprecher Teufel will provide
you with spare parts during the warranty period. Your warranty
will not be invalidated if you replace the parts yourself on-site
using Lautsprecher Teufel spare parts.
Unusual sounds: If any unusual sounds occur during use or
the sound becomes distorted, the speaker output must be
reduced immediately so that the system plays a clear sound.
Connecting and changing the fuse: Disconnect the mains
plug. A faulty fuse may only be exchanged for one of the
same type.
Information on volume: Very high volume can damage hear-
ing. Sudden high sound pressure may be created, particularly
if a subwoofer in "Standby/Auto On" mode is switched on by
a bass impulse at full volume. In addition to physical damage,
please be aware of possible psychological consequences.
Children and pets require particular care. If necessary, set the
volume control of your signal source appliance to the lowest
level. When the volume is high always keep a certain distance
from the appliance and never have your ears right next to
the speaker.
